-By default, g:vimsyn_embed is "mpPr"; ie. syntax/vim.vim will support
-highlighting mzscheme, perl, python, and ruby by default.  Vim's has("tcl")
-test appears to hang vim when tcl is not truly available.  Thus, by default,
-tcl is not supported for embedding (but those of you who like tcl embedded in
-their vim syntax highlighting can simply include it in the g:vimembedscript
-option).
+By default, g:vimsyn_embed is a string supporting interpreters that your vim
+itself supports.  Concatenate multiple characters to support multiple types
+of embedded interpreters; ie. g:vimsyn_embed= "mp" supports embedded mzscheme
+and embedded perl.

 Some folding is now supported with syntax/vim.vim: >
